HOW TO CLEAN CORROSION FROM COPPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS USING HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.พ. 2021
- So I am no electrician for sure - so much so that I needed to search on line what might be the best way to clean corrosion off of copper electrical connections. My GPS fish finder was corroded so bad that It wouldn't even work. I found a formula that contained some ordinary household chemicals and I decided to give it a try.
It worked beautifully. The copper connections look as good as new. I cannot vouch for whether or not this is a preferred method or if there are any negative side effects. I just not my copper connections look like copper again.
Please let me know if you have a better way to do it

Worked a treat, saved me hours on two multiwire plugs. Thanks a lot
That’s awesome!!! I’m so glad it worked for you!!!
Dude: there's still green on the one pin hole.
Aside of you fumbling with a the cell phone camera you created a very helpfull video. It was short and to the point. Your voice sound and volume was plentiful and clear. And the video had no annoying background noise, which is rather amazing since you were on boat. It motivates me to clean the connections on my CJ5 and not hit with an incinderary round.
Thank you.
Great!!! I’m glad it was helpful for you!!!!!
My friend your video helped me with my problem I was getting false reading on my GPS and I though that I had to replaced my unit I did what you described on your video and bingo it works. Thank you a lot also your resort review are the best👍👍
That’s awesome man! So glad it worked for you. Thanks for the support on our channel!!!
After washing the connector with water, you could dip the connector in Isopropyl Alcohol which will displace the water and then evaporate
Interesting!!
Yup, Use 91% isopropyl or higher.
Thanks for your clear explanations.
No problem. Hope it helped!
Thank you so much. This fix one of my wireless cameras. Minus the salt. Got the camera backup in 20 minutes using this trick.
Fantastic!!!!!!!
The reason for the salt in the vinegar is to convert the acetic acid in the vinegar to hydrochloric acid, which is a much more reactive acid that gets the job done faster. It does not change acidity or the amount of corrosion removed though, it just makes the reaction much faster & the job take less time. But the level of acidity in vinegar is very low so you only need a small amount of salt to completely convert the acid. The amount you used is way too much & is detrimental to what you are trying to achieve because salt caused the corrosion problem in the 1st place & applying too much again is going to setup the same reaction again. Sure, you can flush the salt out but you will have to use a lot of fresh water or distilled water to do that. You need only about 2g salt to 250ml vinegar to completely convert the acetic acid to hydrochloric acid. That is about 0.7 oz salt to 1 cup of vinegar.
When all the corrosion has been removed, flush thoroughly with distilled water.
Next flush again with Methylated Spirits (pure alcohol) to remove any remaining water and let it dry completely. You need to do this because water confined in the small spaces in the connection will not evaporate quickly & may cause problems, but alcohol will evaporate faster.
It is likely the connector has been damaged by the corrosion & this will make it more susceptible to faults over time. I’d suggest spraying a good electrical cleaner/conditioner into the connectors such as Deoxit F5. These products seal the contact surfaces with a semi conducting coating that excludes air from the contact surfaces, preventing further corrosion. From over 30 years experience managing & maintaining an auditorium PA, I have found that this increases the life span of connectors and reduces their maintenance by about 5 times over simply a contact cleaning product. You may be able to find a marine grade product in this case, but F5 is what I used.
If you do use an abrasive on electrical contacts, try to use the finest grade you can & then polish with a metal polish because a polished surfaces will oxidise the slowest & will remain working reliably longest. So avoid scuffing up contacts with files, knives & sand paper if at all possible. If it's an emergency so you have to do that to get home safe, replace the cabling afterwards because it's going to corrode fail you again & probably sooner than you think.
Wow!!! Thanks for the detailed comment. Most helpful
Thanks for the video...and for simultaneously recording and demonstrating. I was surprised that your solution included salt because of its corrosive qualities.
Still had one green one.😁👍
Great idea
Thanka
This works
Great thank you!!!
You got it bro! Glad it worked!
Great video, just bought an e bike and noticed simular so going to give this a go 🤘
Sweet!! Lmk how it goes!!
@@watchyourlip3209 will do
Yes I find corrosion is a big problem on ebikes. I live on the coast and am always repairing corroded connectors and wires. Ebikes are the best but if you own one you will likely run into this problem. Keeping your ebike inside and out of the weather could help a lot!
Thank you so much - I'm going to try this on a connector inside my truck.
Glad it helped! thanks for watching
@@watchyourlip3209 It did work on the electrical connector - thank you again.
@@workingguy6666 fantastic bro. Glad it worked!!!!!
Could use some electronics cleaner spray and let it air dry, then add some dielectric grease to prevent that from happening again.
True true.
I don't know if I'm right but I'm pretty sure I used electric parts cleaner extremely Generous and it only works for degreesing them NOT FOR COROSION chances im wrong not very good this it by far the only and best method I have ever came across that worksin minutes. And I've also tried some really expensive stuff for the quantity I got and it turned out to be a waste i never so clean copper. It might of improved contact but that didn't last long at all this is the best method and finish it off with the bakansoda to neutralize the salt and vinegar mix acid and finally using dialectic grease to almost permanently prevent furniture corrosion.
WD-40...USED ON ROCKETS LAUNCHED @ SEA LEVEL(SEA...SALT) OK WD= WATER DISPLACEMENT...HELLO...UM...ALSO...DRIES WET IGNITION ON CHEVYS...FORDS NOT SO BAD...ASTROS.. ARE DEAD BUSTED WITH WATER ON DIST...
That solution works great for cleaning spark plugs as well..
Nice!!! I’ll take a look at that
Instead of dialectric grease to finish off with, try ACF50 anti corrosion spray from any motorcycle shop. It should do a good job of displacing any wayer, and also wick down the wires.
Its a good idea to use ACF 50 on any electrical looms or circuit boards from new so the corrosion doesnt happen in the first place.
Muy bueno amigo gracias
De nada!!!
Your great struggles in recording this video, Deserve like and subscribe.Good Luck!
Oh man! Thanks a bunch!!! I appreciate it
Gonna try this!
Sweet!!! Do it!! Super easy!
great video!!!
Fantastic. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed
thanks sir, save my copper block
Awesome!!!! Glad it helped
good tip
Sweet. Thanks!
Nice to know about home remedies. But CRC makes an electrical Contact Cleaner spray can that works really well and dries pretty fast. I use it on my truck to tráiler electric connector
Thank you, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No problem!!!!
Better than vinegar on this type of connector is citric acid. The reason for this is that you also have rubber gaskets on these connectors that vinegar will attack. You can get away with vinegar a few times, but you won't have any issue with citric acid and in my experience citric is also better at cleaning copper. Neutralizing with a bicarbonate wash is ok but after scrubbing with your acid. Just make sure you flush well as you don't want any residue from citric or bicarbonate. Also, consider using interdental brushes for the female contacts. They will get deep in them and scrub well.
Nice! Thanks for the ideas here
Use dielectric grease on all electrical fittings like that, and trailer plug, works great.
Sounds great!
Thanx nice video.
I might try laying the glass or other type of container like maybe a plastic or glass mustard or other container that has a smallish opening at its top with a lid. Remove the lid. With the container lying on its side a bit so that the connector can be laid on its side so the liquid can get up into each connector hole and the air would be pushed out. This way the fluid will contact each individual hole deeply.
Nice!!! Thanks for the info!!
Yeah good job. Use some die electric grease on those connections and you will reduce and protect those connection on your fish finder.
YEAH BUDDY! ON IT! ANOTHER TRIP TO WEST MARINE!!!
Nice fix (UK)
Nice!!! Thanks!!
Dielectric grease those before reconnecting. Also rinse that vinegar off with clean water before drying it off.
I did the clean water thing. I need to get some dielectric grease for sure
I added evaporust in a small bag attached around the connection…. Rinsed it with dw40!!!
Results: like new!
Nice!!!!
I’ll try that next time!!
vinegar is acidic and will help eat away at the copper corrosion, baking soda is basic and will counteract the acid to stop more copper from being eaten away and voila'
Just so everyone knows, vinegar and baking soda mixed = salt and water.
A better way might be to use a slurry of baking soda and water, scrub it and work it down into the connector, then pour vinegar into the connector and using the brush work it around. That way the reaction is taking place on the connector, not in the glass.
Then follow that with alcohol and let it dry.
My main concern with this is that residual acid might wick up the stranded wires behind the conector. That could potentially eat the wires behind the connector over time. It is much safer to use contact cleaner and a brush to clean the old oxidation then apply the dielectric grease to prevent re-oxidation...
I'm going to try it without the table salt on my detachable face auto radio. Doesn't seem like the dissolved salt should be helping anything if the salt water caused your problem in the first place. I would have thought the baking soda and a toothbrush alone would have done the trick as it does on an auto battery terminal cleaning. But, hey! What do I know?! Thx for the idea.
One connector was still green and more corroded than others. It can be main power supply.
Almost certainly one of the ground pins. I saw maybe 3 that were still green including that one. It's startling how much salt speeds up the process. It wasn't wet that long but the connector looked like it was 10 years old in the before photo.
Nice vid, fyi I would have also changed that orange ring, the one that’s suppose to keep water out, that corrosion problem might come back
Thanks for the compliment. That’s a great idea! Thanks
I have been restoring rusty tools by soaking in vinegar and salt for years. I will try adding baking soda.
Cool!!!!
Any corrosive liquid containing salts or acid is going to wick up into the wires eventually dissolving them. It's just a matter of time. Prevention is the best thing by making sure the o-rings are intact, lubricate with a little silicone grease and check the connector is fully tightened.
There is a liquid product used for neutralizing salt for fishing reels that might be effective, but I have never tried it.
Don't skip the baking soda step, which neutralizes the vinegar.
Good word!!!!!
If you add a bit of silicone dielectric grease to the connection it will never happen again ;). Do not believe that dielectric grease interferes with the electrical connection, it does not! It simply keeps air and moisture out of the connections and prevents future corrosion...
The major problem is not the connector. It`s the "black" wires that comes with it. So a new connector (or pins) and cut wires until you find clear copper. Sometimes you have to change the whole cable becouse of corrosion.
Very interesting
@@watchyourlip3209 I fix things like this for a living and I can promise..you are in luck if only the connector are bad
Yep. Cheap crap from China
I know it’s common sense to have it unplugged when doing this, but I think it should be mentioned for people who don’t have common sense
Good word!
Thank you Jesus
Amen!
Try applying dielectric grease on that connection that mite help
Cool. Thanks
CRC makes Contact Cleaner. One step, done
Nice!!
dielectric grease and it will prevent from happening to begin with 😊👍
Vinegar, and salt are rusting agents but that doesn't matter much at all for copper. There is a good chance the wiring harness is made from steel/iron wiring though with the copper pads soldered on at the end.
If you want you can put some dielectric grease on the connector to prevent it from happening in the future (the products intended purpose). It's non conductive and keeps water/air from entering. As long as you don't undo the connector it should last indefinitely.
thanks so much!
I'm only replying so the part that is incorrect isn't carried on by anyone else. Steel or iron wiring isn't a thing, ever. Especially in marine wiring. No offence intended, just correcting the information
JUST SPRAY WD-40 AFTER...MINERAL OIL...MADE FOR ROCKETS LAUNCHED AT SEA LEVEL WHERE OXYGEN IS HIGHEST...WD-40 SEALS OUT MOISTURE...REMOVES WATER(WD= WATER DISPLACEMENT!!!)
Except solar cable, which often is. 😋 ;-p
Video starts at 2:37
I see the need for salt and vinegar, but the baking soda just neutralized your acid so I don't expect that did much. I think just washing with water after the salt and vinegar would be just as good. I'm trying the same thing with ruby fluid, which is a flux for copper brazing...we'll see how that works.
Cool. Lmk how it works
@@watchyourlip3209 It worked well to remove the corrosion. The terminals were brass plated copper and it stripped the brass plate off also, but that's good enough for me. Probably a lot of other acids and drain cleaners work, but I like your video here with more common chemicals. I would have tried it if I didn't have the flux lying around.
That corrosion itself is of an "Acidic" nature, therefore Baking Soda mixed with Warm Water is all you really need. (Eats away any Acidity & thus corrosion) dropping the levels to more an alkaline level (could even be Ph Neutral) I would then clean it out with a Electrical circuit board cleaner then a quick soak of "Corrosion X" this will guarantee trouble free connections for several months or even a few years. 😊👌
@@oze-bikes4life663 Wow you need to study chemistry waaay more before you try to write about it. I don't like to be mean, but why act like you know what you're talking about when you don't?
@@jaredbrandt9602 But that's where your so wrong !!,
I'm an qualified Electrican & my Dads a Qualified Motor Mechanic, this method i spoke about cleans Battery terminals & electrical connections far better & longer than most other methods.
I have also used Corrosion X on my Rc trucks (Non waterproofed ESC) at the beach with Zero issues & problems.
I practice what I preach !!
I'm not some "keyboard warrior"
I bet your just some loud mouth "office worker or School kid" who acts like he knows it all 🙄 (I have met that type before). Have you heard the saying :
"Empty shells make the most noise" 😏✌😎
Also, I wonder why the acid you used "stripped away the brass coating of your terminals" 🤣
Not to mentioned that you referred to using Drain cleaners and other nasty cleaners, a good chance that will destroy the plastic connector by softening the plastic, make them brittle or just eating away at the plastic connector casing & waterproof o-rings on some connectors themselves.
Your as dumb as a box of 🔨 !!! Do some study & hands on experience before you talk "shit".
Later Gumby !
It’ll probably work for a while, but it’ll come back again. Rust/corrosion is like cancer. You have to get deep inside to clean it out. It’ll spread again
Has anyone used this to clean NMEA 2000 cables?
might want to try it with the holes facing up so the mixture can go inside the holes, if you put a glass upside down in water you can see the water won't enter depending if air can flow though the socket but it appears to be molded. nice video, trying to desolve that green on a footwell module in a mini cooper
Nice. Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes
corrosion on my mini cooper kick panel area. Cant connect to OBD2 scanner, and found X15 connector to be the only splice/connector between PCM and data link. No continuity to the pcm from datalink, and this connector was so green and rusted. haha. This worked great tho..... kuddos to the creator on looking this up and passing it on.. Still have ot go out tho for my electric grease.. ugh, lol....
I wouldn't use Water & Salt (For me that's insane) 🤯
Definantly not recommended !!! 🧐😳
My preferred & method would be just use warm water with Bi-Carb Soda (Toothbrush is a good tip), then clean out with Electrical Contact Cleaner followed by a dunk in some "Corrosion X". This way will Guarantee not to have corrosion issues for many years or atleast several months to come. (Especially in the marine environment)
Cut lemon in half push it in leave for min or 2 then squeeze some juce in terminals wash repeat if nesiseri
Really?!?! How interesting
vinegar pretty much does it alone
Cool!! Thanks
I tried your way for RUST on my USB connector charging cable did't work . What did work is toilet bowl cleaning liquid . If you read the label some of them says removes rust . I tried it once letting it sit for a minute . On the outside removed much of it . had to use again letting it sit on inside of USB connection for several minutes . Rinsed it off then dried sparingly with heat gun . Now works .
Awesome. Thanks for the advice
@@watchyourlip3209 yep it’s the charging cable for Craftsman rechargeable headlamp
I know how the salt & vinigar works to clean the copper, but iv never applied this method to finer / thinner copper parts, and what does the h2o+ bicarb do? Is it to neutralise the effects of the salt/vinigar?
cool vid BTW.
Thanks for the compliment! I believe it’s a neutralizing agent but have never really looked into the chemistry of it. It was recommended to me so I tried it and it worked
@@watchyourlip3209 thank you for your reply, It's a more beautiful world when we communicate and share, keep safe
I totally agree. Thanks bud. Be blessed
I wouldn't use salt in the solution, it could wick up the wires and cause further corrosion.
I don’t know water and electrical don’t mix .but great video
Understood.
Thanks for watching
they dont mix but you just need to thoroughly dry the object. Dropped a phone in the sea, immediately took the battery out (can't do that nowdays), Gave a good swill out in fresh water at home then left to dry. All good.
2:23 before you get to the useful info.
Yeeeeeeeaaaaa booooyy
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaa boooooooyyyy!!!!
I wonder if this would work on cleaning a car starter solenoid copper contacts since the latter is sealed and don`t have the tools to break it open to efficiently clean them..ì`d try anyways, nothing to lose right? Or any othe Recommandations, anyone ? :)
I would imagine it would work but I’m no car expert. I’ll defer to someone with more knowledge on car mechanics
does it work on RUST too?
I would imagine. I haven’t tried it on rust
Sprinkle some baking soda and then add coke and let it fizz, flush it out with water, it will take the green off very easy
Nice. Thanks
Now it's raw and will corrode quicker, that's why you should use DeoxIT D5 because it coats it as well.
Omg don't use salt, vinegar is fine
Why not cuz its a oxidizer or
It's an abrasive which can help in certain situations Edit: although in this case for electrical connections it's probably best to avoid it
Salt not needed. He could even try a higher concentration vinegar. Rinse well. The salt won't be abrasive because it's in solution.
Salt is needed, in this scenario the salt improves the conductive properties of the acid, speeding up the chemical reaction and limiting the amount of time spent in the solution, this is important If rubber or plastic is dipped along with the copper wire. If it was just copper then pure vinegar overnight is optimal.
Salt and vinegar make hydrchloric acid which will dissolve copper. So ya vinegar is fine without salt
Use vinegar and baking soda together that is all no salt
Did you "salt to taste?" lol ;)
WHY NOT USE DEOXIT D5 AND G5
Didn’t have any
I see green. G.R.E.E.N
My friend...
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, SALT is the reason your connector terminals looked like that to begin with.
Now, to make things worse, you dunking the unmated (which means unsealed) connector into another salt bath. The terminals inside of that connector are most likely crimped, possibly soldered, to the multi-conductor cable that enters that housing. In other words, these terminals are not sealed off to the elements when unmated, thus, the copper end of the cable is wicking all of that salt up into the conductors.
You may say to yourself, hey it got rid of my corrosion & i haven't seen anymore since. Well.. while i wouldn't recommend "washing" any electrical connector in that method, I'd wager to say, that if you haven't seen any corrosion since then, it's because you washed the salt away with your second rinse.. However, I would almost guarantee, if you cut that connector off or de-pin it & strip the individual conductors insulation back, you'll see blackened or even green fuzzy wire strands..
It's crazy how far back water/moisture will wick into a wire.
If you don't believe me, here's a short example.
I once used inferior heat shrink on a set of battery cables I made for my dual battery toy hauler. I knew better, but was in a pinch & needed to be operational. Well.. just two years later, water/winter road salt had wicked up every cable on that truck & almost the entire length of each cable.
I've seen the same thing happen to unsealed splices in headlight wiring etc.. Water, Humidity, Moisture, acidic chemicals, whatever... All bad for wire & cable. Not only does the joint/connection go bad, but major lengths of the harnesses get junked too..
I would suggest, terminal cleaners next time as there are cheap tools dedicated to fixing problems like that. Carburetor tools can also work in a pinch for scraping corrosion.. just whatever you do wallow/stretch your terminals out with the tools or they won't make contact anymore.
Just some food for thought my friend.
Wow! You put a lot of thought and time into this bud. Thanks for the suggestions. As stated in the video, I’m no Electrician and I’m no chemist. Just made a video on how it worked for me and it seemed to work great. But I’ll keep the things that you suggested in mind.
That pin was still corroded
Use lacquer thinner problem solved
Really??? I might have to try that
Is using lacquer thinner specific to copper or can it be used on other metals to remove corrosion ?
It removes corrosion buddy, just try it.
Salt will make it corrode even faster
Vinegar with salt will definitely get copper oxide off, but how did it hold up???? You've got acetic acid and salt residue all up in there now. Did it corrode again?
Also, do you know WHY you're using baking soda? Because it looks no better after you put it into the baking soda water than it did before. Which is what I expected since I think sodium bicarbonate isn't going to react with copper or copper oxide. I'm pretty sure the reason that step is there because you shouldn't have used acetic acid for this application and now you are trying to neutralize it. But it doesn't get the salt out. And it isn't going to reliable get all up into the stranded wires that got soaked with acid and salt.
Hey bro. Thanks for watching. I’m no chemist and no electrician. It’s just a recipe that was suggested to me. I looked it up and found multiple sites that had the same recipe. It held up very well for about a year. I wound up getting a new Garmin, not because the old one had issues. It was just time for an upgrade
I'm surprised that two of the cleaning chemicals were salt and water (albeit separate)
Crazy right? Worked well!!
I’m confused you never put the baking soda in. You only used salt and vinegar
Correct, the acid from the S+V mix cleans the corrosion and the baking soda water is used to neutralize the acid from the S+V mix.
Yes - the baking soda went in the water at about the 6:00 minute mark
Anybody try CLR? It's copper after all and nonferrous.
Nope. We haven’t. This formula worked fine
Or you can just get contact cleaner…. NEVRR use salt wth?
I’m a bit lazy, can I use a electrical toothbrush??? 🤓😂
Bro. That would get me a ton of views to do a vid like that!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Salt corrodes copper

Off topic. Notice you have rubber boots on. Not a good idea to wear tall boots in a boat. If you end up in the water you will probably drown.
Ok.. putting salt into an electrical outlet is a terrible fkin idea. The salt will dissasociate into Na and Cl which are extremely reactive with most metals. If you end up getting any of it behind a nook or pocket it can cause a short circuit later, especially if there's water involved. Adding salt to water makes it more conductive.
You should've used dielectric/silicone grease to plug up that terminal from day 1. That's what the grease is mainly for. It helps seal out moisture and prevents the corrosion of bare metal.
Still works. No corrosion
well no good going on about silicone grease is it, he already had the corrosion. This is about cleaning off the verdigris, which you didn't address. After all is flushed and cleaned out then use a grease.
salt is what rust metal.. the thin salt in the air.
don't know the english term for it, but its called salitre
Next time be free to buy contact cleaner.
...I recommend watching different videos, this guy has no idea how corrosion/oxidation and electronics work...also he cleaned nothing - it will happen again, because the corrosion spreads over time
Well sir, you are 1/2 right. I’m no electrician, which I clearly stated in my video several times. However, over 2 years later with normal upkeep maintenance, I have corrosion free electronics 🙂
Raptor is right.
The video is so missinformational, that it should be retracted by author.
Is there no miss information filter on this site..
Repetitive chatter is unnecessary and annoying.
you can say that again🤔
I though the salt would be counter productive? Can’t you just use baking soda and vinegar. I’m just thinking the salt water caused the corrosion
Perhaps. I’m no chemist but the salt was supposed to balance one of the other chemicals out. Connections are still clean and functional two years later with general maintenance
Just wondering as a kid we always used vinegar and baking soda on batteries to clean terminals. I didn’t know if salt made it better. Thx great video I will subscribe your interesting
@@watchyourlip3209 well what you did worked thats all the point of this video well done
Why use salt??. Water and baking soda should work and soak for about 30 minutes. Rinse and dry.
I’m no chemist - I believe there is some sort of stabilizing attribute the salt has with the other chemicals
